Patron Spotlight - Jay Tholen - Hypnospace Outlaw

Jay Tholen, creator of pointandclick adventure game Dropsy, is currently working on one of the weirdest games I've seen for a long time (or perhaps ever).

Hypnospace Outlaw is a a '90s internet simulator, that requires you scour the Hypnospace and hunt down wrongdoers, while also checking out a wide variety of weird and wonderful websites, keeping an eye on your work email, and downloading a plethora of apps that may or may not be useful.

As part of your job as a Hypnospace Enforcer, you'll be watching out for copyright infringement, internet bullying and more, with reports and rewards coming direct from the Hypnospace Patrol Department to your inbox. In your spare time, you can customize your HypnOS desktop however you see fit, with a variety of downloads, wallpapers, screen savers and helper bots to keep you company.

There are few game ideas that you can't say haven't been tried before, but this may just be one of them. Find out more at the Official Website.
